The Well of Penrys
In Oxford,England in the 18th century
When diseases were abundant in the ill
You go down to ol' penrhys
And toss some clothing in the well
The well it had healing powers
Cure you of all you had
And let me tell you folks about life
It was as bad as you assume bad
A day's walk south east from here
More people buried than baptized
The living conditions so unmanageable
Almost a blessing if you die
So we make the trek off to Wales
To heal at the well of penrhys
It's so much better to walk to hope
Instead of waiting round to die
In Oxford,England in the 18th century
When diseases were abundant in the ill
You go down to ol' penrhys
And toss some clothing in the well
When diseases were abundant in the ill
You go down to ol' penrhys
And toss some clothing in the well
The well it had healing powers
Cure you of all you had
And let me tell you folks about life
It was as bad as you assume bad
A day's walk south east from here
More people buried than baptized
The living conditions so unmanageable
Almost a blessing if you die
So we make the trek off to Wales
To heal at the well of penrhys
It's so much better to walk to hope
Instead of waiting round to die
In Oxford,England in the 18th century
When diseases were abundant in the ill
You go down to ol' penrhys
And toss some clothing in the well
